i bought this about a month ago. as my first printer and i love it. with No prior experience of 3D printing what so ever. i was up and printing in abot 20 minutes. since then i have i have designed a few complex parts in blender, and tinkercad. i then decided that this hobby is right up my ally and i went ahead and ordred one more V3 KE and one bambu lab X1E. now i want to dip my toes in some Resin printing.
Got mine used (only 96 hrs) for $185 USD. Currently owner of 2 x X1C, Prusa Mini+ and FFCP 2. I must say that I am VERY impressed by the KE. If I was to run a print farm, the KE would more than likely be the workhorse.
the ender is at 299 and the A1 is at 440 thats 140+ to get multi color on the A1 you go to 650 but the ender is OPENSORCE WITH KLIPPER ! so hard to say :)
the v3 SE or KE is a solid directdrive 300c hotend klipper opensorce printer at 199 SE and 299 KE hard to beat but some ppl like white so thay pay for it :)
@@emmanuelskolinos1361 ya I've been leaning towards the KE over the A1. Withthe money I save on the KE I can buy filament. Maybe get a P1S/P if I actually enjoy the hobby.
I have had this printer for a week now, was extremely excited to get it. I would say 40% of my prints have failed. The adhesion to the print bed fails especially on prints with many parts like articulated dragons. Ive tried all the recommended fixes, including slower print speeds, using glue stick on bed, adding raft to models, nozzle and bed temps etc. Thus video makes it look so good but my experience is very different.
Ke owner, swapping the plate with an Undio seemed to help with adhesion. You might need to physically adjust the bed too, via putting washers in the 4 screws holding it up. Use the mesh from the auto leveling to figure out where to adjust. Hope that helps.
Same here😢 nothing works waisted 2 rolls of filament for calibrations, testprints and suddenly failed prints after 30 hours (error codes layer shifts ugly layer lines)
